The name healthy helpful wise is a play on a child’s rhyme “healthy, wealthy and wise”. I wanted a name that incorporated being healthy and helping our planet and being knowledgable about what is going on around us. And because the main goal of the food industry is to get wealthy and not help us or our planet. I exchanged wealthy for helpful.
The day that I decided to take off my blindfold which I had worn for way
too long, drastically changed my life. I discovered (and I’m still
discovering) a world behind the scenes which everyone should know about, but
far too few of us do. After finding out the true meaning of the food
industry and learning such vital information which we are not told in
schools, supermarkets or at the doctor, I just had to speak out.
Being a mother, my first thought was, “Oh my god, what have we been doing!?”
— I could not just swallow what I had discovered and keep it to myself. If I
really care about my daughter and my future grandchildren and their
grandchildren, I must actively do something to help other parents to open
their eyes and ears.
Our food choices have tremendous affects on our lives, our health, our
planet, the planet’s diversity, our natural resources, human rights, our
children’s futures and of course on our animals … so basically our choice of
food affects life itself.
After deciding to become a vegetarian again and then a whole foods plant
based vegan, I decided to take a step further and signed up to become a
vegan dietician. I will become certified vegan dietician in 2019. Combining
my skills as a communications designer, my original field of work, I decided
to start writing articles for my blog and designing templates for posters,
T-Shirts etc.
